AS/NZS IEC 60079.10.1:2022 adopts IEC 60079 10 1:2020, which specify requirements for the classification of areas where flammable gas or vapour hazards may arise and may then be used as a basis to support the proper design, construction, operation and maintenance of equipment for use in hazardous areas.

Provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in building can be converted into a single number characterizing the acoustical performance; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-1:1996.

Adopts ISO 140-7:1998 with national modifications to specify field methods for the measuring the impact sound insulation properties of building floors by using a standard tapping machine; this method is applicable bare floors and also to floor with coverings.
